Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji directs the state government to provide comprehensive support to victims of the recent kidnapping in Eda-Oniyo, Ilejemeje Local Government Area, who have been released. Multiple reports say the governor visits the survivors receiving treatment at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH), Ado-Ekiti, and announces that their medical bills will be covered in full.
The coverage also states that the assistance goes beyond routine care. Oyebanji orders free medical treatment as well as screening for the survivors, and he assures them of full psychological support. In one report, the governor emphasizes comprehensive screening alongside medical attention, while another describes the commitment to both medical and psychological care and payment of all expenses.
Across the outlets, the key point is that the freed victims are currently at EKSUTH for treatment and that the Ekiti state government is taking responsibility for their healthcare and related screening and mental health needs following their release.
